We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia as the traditional owners and custodians of the land. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice. We pay our respects to the Elders; past, present and future. As we take our next step we remember the first footsteps taken on this sacred land.

 

The Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education supports and endorses the ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART. We urge all Australians to take up the Indigenous people's invitation to learn about and promote it.
